This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention. The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean. And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them. Record-breaking temperatures. A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse. The response? Yank out the instruments and walk away. That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency. For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives. The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident. That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first. cnn.com/2026/06/03/climate/o…

Why? Just WHY?!? 😡

The Trump administration is DISMANTLING the network of buoys that help California monitor for major tsunamis and earthquakes. Cool.

Science gasps for breath. They are removing all the ocean monitors to understand changes in currents and climate, and the excuse is a master class in obfuscation & double speak . (1/2) nytimes.com/2026/06/01/clima…

900 instruments in multiple arrays providing continuous monitoring of shallow to deep ocean conditions, set to be pulled off their moorings and dismantled by the Trump administration.

I stand with Katie. 5 incidents in 5 days. I left the court with 2 stitches and a bruised knee. Thankfully, it wasn’t worse. Do we really have to wait until a player is seriously injured before these courtside boards are removed? Player safety must come first. #rolandgarros

This is not what the seating chart should look like on the first day of pre-sale. Just resale tickets at twice the price. The re-sale tickets are out of control. @usopen @AmexBusiness

US Open is not a viable tournament to attend unless you get tickets at the start of the presale. Scalpers are out of control and the USTA isn’t bothered

It’s disgusting that a majority of tickets made available for the @usopen #Amex presale are already up for resale at insane prices. You are shameful, @Ticketmaster.

They’re intentionally pricing fans out so they can give the tickets to corporate sponsors and influencers/celebs for free.

Of course not. Every year there’s literally no queue to get tickets during the Amex presale. It’s a shame @Ticketmaster has ruined the best event in New York @usopen. And the US Open is doing nothing about it. Shameful!

Annual reminder/PSA that the people who buy US Open AMEX presale tickets just to resell them deserve to have terrible things happen to them. How is this not regulated? @usopen @AmericanExpress

I set a calendar reminder for the Amex US Open presale this morning, logged on, and was greeted by 430,000 people ahead of me in the queue. Not sure how many are bots, but in 2026 there has to be a better way for brands like American Express to offer perks. Almost doing more brand damage than if they just didn’t offer it @AmericanExpress @usopen

And every time I try to purchase the tickets are "no longer available"...Terrible experience

Why are @usopen tickets QUADRUPLE the price of last year? @Ticketmaster The same seats that were $600 last year are $2400 this year???? That's insane. And this is supposed to be @AmericanExpress presale???? WTF @usta

Erin Brockovich has launched a website and has begun tracking all data centers in America and logging resident complaints In just 1 week it’s already logged 1,690 resident complaints For this who don’t remember Erin Brockovich was the paralegal responsible for winning out a case against PG&E, Hinckley in California, because their wastewater runoff was seeping into rural areas and creating a lot of health issues for, for the surrounding neighborhoods That case brought in a $333 million settlement that went to the families affected by the situation because a lot of them either had staggering medical bills due to their tap water was no longer safe So why is this important, well residents all over America are reporting their tap water and river water is being heavily polluted by data centers Her map of data centers is new, she just launched it The website features an interactive US map showing operational, under-construction, and proposed AI data centers, overlaid with community-reported complaints Residents can submit reports with details, photos, and locations. Within days of launch, it received a surge of submissions over 1,600 in the first week, and reports of 1,800 from 47 states shortly after Common Resident Complaints Being Logged - Water usage - Raising utility bills for residents - Noise pollution: Constant 24/7 humming from fans, generators, and cooling systems disrupting sleep, daily life, and wildlife. - E-waste from frequent hardware upgrades, pollution including PFAS concerns

It’s important to understand that it isn’t only Trump who is deeply corrupt here. It’s every Republican elected official who doesn’t say or do anything about this staggering corruption. Every one of them sees it and knows it’s wrong.
